745 MH wheelbase

RE:745 MH wheelbase

Bill,

I think you are referring to the 745 you bought at Yuma? Well that as I recall was a standard tractor and not a rowcrop. In which case an original brochure I have for it states the wheelbase to be 81 inches. Can't physically check as I don't personally have a 745

I wonder what have you done with the 744 and 745? They were a very reasonable pair of tractors and more or less unique in N America. Do please let us know of progress

RE:745 MH wheelbase

Sorry I had you mixed up for buying them. Yes they did go to MN but I forget the name of the buyer.

The Perkins L4 engine was perfectly OK as far as I am aware but it didn't have the beautiful tone of the P6 in the 744s.

Both are coming to be quite sort after tractors over here and anything complete, original and running will be £5000-£10000 depending on actual condition. Occasionally more. Anything less than £5000 will be suspect condition wise and in originality. Examples with hydraulic lifts are very hard to come by - they were totally different set ups to those found on the 44s in N America.

Hi malcom

Are you taking care of that no 3. I sure hop so. That was the last tractor my Dad ever drove. I am glad you got it as you apreciate it.

No I do not have a 745. I was just doing a little research on the differences of a 745 and a 44. They don't seem like they were that popular. maybe they we just scatered around the world. Do you know where to find a parts book?

Have you seen that RCAF 81 around? I wish i would of taken more pictures at the auction,

RE:745 MH wheelbase

Oops, I almost forgot. I did spot this 82 from someone's previous post. I believe it was from a show in Norwich, UK in 2012. Maybe John or Malcolm could comment. Sure looks like the same Yuma tractor to me.
